Orlando’s NBC News affiliate reports:
Florida Rep. Randy Fine sparked some concerned on Twitter Wednesday with a vaguely threatening message directed at President Joe Biden. “I have news for the embarrassment that claims to be our President — try to take our guns and you’ll learn why the Second Amendment was written in the first place,” he wrote.
The tweet quickly amassed thousands of replies with multiple people tagging the Secret Service, interpreting the message as a direct threat against the president. “Let me go ahead and tag the @FBI @CIA and @SecretService to come and scoop you up,” one person wrote.

Fine last appeared on JMG when he called for felony charges after Florida Democrats staged a sit-in over the racist US House map submitted by DeSantis.
Before that he appeared here when he threatened to defund a Florida Special Olympics event and called a local school board member a “whore” because she’d been invited its fundraiser gala and he was not.
Fine is also the sponsor of the bill that stripped Disney’s self-governing status. His family owns annual passes to the “woke” theme park giant.

Wait. You’re threatening to kill @Potus? Or are you threatening law enforcement? A legislator? Or are you creating a nightmare fantasy in which you dream about just shooting anyone? You’re an extremist and don’t belong in government https://t.co/imkx41f4Vb

Oh look, Republicans are indulging in more violent insurrection fantasies. It’s almost as if they enjoy them. Maybe try playing video games instead of threatening the president who won a majority of votes of your countrymen? https://t.co/1S5IwPhmM3

Based on your tweet threatening to harm the president, I am pretty sure they should take away your guns. https://t.co/ocv80YuXo1
